Utah Valley University - BIOL1620
This course section is entirely online. All assignments, quizzes, and exams will be turned in and taken on Canvas. My preferred contact method is our group Slack channel.
This webpage will host links to all resources and videos, and serves as a roadmap for the semester, listing readings, assignments, etc.
The course consists of several components:
The course is broken into 4 rough sections:
1. Getting to know fungal biology and major groups (get ready for a bunch of mycological terminology)
2. Fungi as the enemy (human and plant pathogens, fungal distribution, secondary compounds)
3. Fungi as a friend (mutualistic symbioses)
4. Molecular mycology (intro to modern methods and fungal bioinformatics)
Course assumptions (about you):
21st Century Guidebook to Fungi (This is pretty useful for this class!) Full download link for older edition (zipped).
“The Fifth Kingdom” website
Cornell’s Virtual Fungal Library (Extensive links to resources!)
Fungal Gene Database (Exactly what it sounds like.)
Emerging fungal diseases CDC resource page for those with a medical bent
Nice YouTube Channel with videos featuring do-it-at-home mycology
